It is nice to see that those minor characters shows up again, thanks for the info.
OK back on topic, do you plan on reading the rest of the series in order, like picking up with Wolf Pack and Natural Selection?
I will base my further reading on what it available on DriveThruRPG in e-book form. Too bad there is no real natural point for me to continue from. Assumption of Risk and Bred for War are available, but not Natural Selection. Neither is the Jade Phoenix trilogy, nor Close Quarters.
To me it looks like I am forced to pick Main Event or Ideal War, both which I understand are less than stellar, so I am reluctant to buy them.
As for what I want to read in the Caballero trilogy, the main books up to and including Malicious Intent and the Jade Phoenix trilogy.
After those I am interested in Coleman's Capellan books and the Mechwarrior series.
Lost Destiny - Chapters 21-28I was planning to read up to chapter 30, but when I reached chapter 29, I saw Day 1 of Operation Scorpion. So, I decided this was a good point to post.
Victor had one chapter, in which he was a bit annoying. You know, earlier I would have preferred that the houses beat the Clans, and no Comguards, but now due to the way the younger generation annoys me, I no longer mind the Comguard as much as I did. Especially since they are getting disbanded after the Jihad.
We have Candace meet Ion Rush, which helps set him up as a character.
For the Kai storyline we finally find out the truth about Lear, have him defeat one elemental and have them go looking for faxes. These chapters were weaker than those before, since his annoying lack of confidence is back.
Phelan continues with his bloodname trial, now having only the last battle left. Here he did annoy me due to the way he did resolve the third battle. I would also have cried foul. The fourth battle however, was more interesting. Now, did the elemental create that trap on his own, or was he pressured to do it? At least there is no suspicion about the latter. I have to wonder how he planned to survive the trap. Just jump out when Phelan went in? We also see Phelan figure out the identity of Focht. This is an event we should not think too closely about, since having that much info available from remote planets seems not plausible in this universe. I am also very surprised that he will have his final bloodline trial after Tukayiid, that seem to be making things happen too fast afterwards.
Finally we have Myndo revealing Scorpion and Focht bidding for Tukayiid. Both important setup events. I am also interested to see the Kells receiving that message where it is revealed that Phelan is alive.
